//First Knight//

- "I live by my sword." (Lancelot) Lancelot is a man who has no specific goal in life and chooses to take life as it comes, using nothing but his instincts and his outstanding skills with his sword. I like this quote because it shows Lancelot's independence, courage, and the confidence he has in his ability to fight. Also, later on in his life, he proved that he does "live by his sword" by further putting his abilities to use and risking his life many times for Guinevere and Camelot.

//Man of La Mancha//

This movie tells the tale of a man who has been convicted of speaking against the government. In the story, he is locked in an underground room, along with many others. To these people, he tells the tale of Don Quijote, in order to win his trial. I believe that this story is very famous for many reasons. First of all, it consists of a story within a story. Next, the story allows the viewer to actually put themselves in the shoes of the different characters and understand life in their perspective. Finally, the story very greatly portrays different people's lives and depicts many life lessons. It shows that no matter what a person's story or role in life is or no matter how someone perceives that person to be, they can still accomplish great things. For example, everyone in the story of Don Quijote believed that he was a very strange old man and was only fooling himself. However, Don Quijote believed in himself and because of this, he was able to accomplish what he set out to do and was recognized by many people for his heroic actions.
